Like most new graduates I found the idea
of finding a good job very daunting. After
attaining my 2:1, my fears only got worse as
the initial excitement and enthusiasm quickly
disappeared when I got several "Dear-John"
letters and countless no replies.
So I made the decision that it was best to
use a recruitment specialist to help me find
that dream job. I heard about meta-morphose
International from fellow graduates I knew
at university. They had all secured great
jobs through meta-morphose with excellent
packages and prospects. I contacted the
company and they arranged for me to have
a telephone interview. The questions they
asked were very logical, and their manner
was relaxed and friendly. This in turn led
to me being invited to an assessment day in
Cheltenham.
My first impressions were that the company
had attracted a high standard group of
individuals to attend the day. The structure of
the assessment day was well organised and it
seemed to flow at a nice pace.
The people who ran the day were extremely
helpful and very enthusiastic. Their methods
of assessment were appropriate and it was easy
for me to see how they would demonstrate the
skills they desired from a potential candidate.
The people running the day did so very
professionally, and it was obvious that they
would ensure everyone benefited from the
experience - whether they made the cut or
not.
After I had been told I was successful in my
application, they gave me a constructive talk
on anything they thought I could improve.
They also specifically identified what
industries were of interest to me, and most
importantly what were my career ambitions,
so they could help me to find a job to realise
my personal goals.
During the time when they were actually
arranging interviews for me and sending me
job briefs there was always someone there
to talk to in the office. You quickly build
up a relationship with most of them, which
I think is an important experience as it will
be invaluable in a B2B sales career. They
listened to all my requirements for the job,
and took into account my strengths and any
weaknesses, likes and dislikes. That ensured
that the job briefs I was sent were appropriate
and very appealing to me. They were always
there for me when I was going through the
interview stages of recruitment - giving me
good advice.
I got offered the second job I was interviewed
for, and I am over the moon with it. It is in
the industry I find most interesting and has
an excellent package and equally good
prospects.
I was really pleased with the service metamorphose
provided to me, their people
are great and I would recommend them to
anybody.
